CHARLOTTE-

There was a knock.

I opened the door and came face to face with Valentina Moretti.

I was shocked. She was the last person I expected to see in a Barcelona hotel corridor, race week already humming somewhere below us, the suite still smelling faintly of coffee and Luca’s shower steam.

Had she really followed us all the way here? How did she even know where we were staying? How did she get access past the front desk?

Why did she suddenly seem like a stalker?

“What are you doing here?” I asked.

She smiled. Slow. The kind of smile that wanted to rub it into my face that she had found us and I had not been warned.

“Luca invited me. He told his mother where to find him. She gave me all the information. So now I’m here. Where is he?”

I could not believe it.

Had he really invited her? After everything. He’d told me I was the most important person in his life. And then arranged for this girl to show up here for him?

Valentina stepped past me like the suite had been waiting for her. Like she did not need my permission to

enter.

Her perfume was so high, it made my nose burn.

Her heels were loud against the floor. Then she looked around as if she already belonged in the same suite I had been sharing with him.

I stood with my arms over my chest and watched Luca come out of the bathroom in a T-shirt, hair wet, towel forgotten in his hand.

He saw her.

Something moved across his face too fast for me to name. Surprise. Guilt. Then the careful blank look I was used to.

She rushed toward him.

I did not stay for the exchange.

I took my bag and walked out. I could not believe he would allow her in the suite with us. Not after last night. Not after this morning. Not after asking me to go back to simply being friends, no mention of sex or kissing again.

The corridor was too bright. My pulse was pounding in my ears. Ten steps. That was all I managed before I bounced into someone.

It did not take me long to realize it was someone I knew.
